Mauritian chef Smita Grosse began her career in the hotel industry at the age of 16, where she worked her way through the French to the Asian kitchen. But it was the art of pastry- making where Chef Grosse found her calling, taking her from the Shangri-La Hotel Dubai, the Carnival Cruise Line, to her current post as the first female executive pastry chef at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. In July 2022, she accepted a commission to create 100 pieces of eye-catching dessert for the opening gala dinner of the Big Eight - Dinosaur Revelation exhibition. She shows the Post’s Regina de Luna how she rose to the challenge of creating a ferociously delectable chocolate dinosaur.

A: Ay, where is my dinosaur figure?
B: the one on the desk?
A: yeah-
B: my bad, dude. I ate it

[@shqip_sumejja]

How can people eat this.. it feels like a shame when so much time spent , it is art!

AMAURY GUICHON is also an excellent Pastry Chef who creates amazing chocolate sculptures.

[@FindingGreenOS]

I mean, I'm sure she's a talented chef but putting tempered chocolate in a mold and spray painting it is not really innovative or super skilled. Most people could do that with minimal training.

[@enzogrnder4055]

“No other other pastry chef has done
.. will do that”
Ok. Does she not know Amaury Guichon? 😂

[@wadeblankenship3844]

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing like that’s 4th grade arts and crafts type art project stuff.

"Natural color of a dinosaur" made me lol. 3:25

If one says 'food art', this one will come to my mind at first. Not that fine dining.

[@misterdd7239]

“Yeah people said it would be hard to get the position of head pastry chef because in a woman and a minority but I found that agreeing to a 50 percent lower wage did the usual trick
